Extending the OLED screens

@jet438

Okay, so… unless you cloned the M2 to an SSD, I would suspect that the install of the M2 is bad. I’m running off an M2 device with no issues.

Never use zeros for fan speed. Look at the temp of the devices (sudo argon-status).

argononed-hdd.conf
45=100
50=100

OLED only displaying 1/3 of the screen? Power off. Unplug for 10 minutes. Reinsert plug and power on. Does the display show only 1/3 again?

@NHHiker
I decided to rebuild the whole machine on Ubuntu 22.04. Everything seems to be working sans fan control, but I’ll figure that out.
Thanks for the protracted help

Thanks for this.

After running into too many issues with Raspbian Lite that had nothing to do with the EON, I finally gave in and decided to try Ubuntu server. Aside from not being prompted to through any kind of setup where I could have, e.g., set my username, I like it so far.

Should I use the official Argon EON script or your modified version at this point?

Thanks!

I would use the modified scripts, as they install properly with Ubuntu 22.04

To be honest I find that Ubuntu is much slower to boot.

Thanks!

One more dumb question: I don’t need to run this command using sudo, correct? I’m assuming it’ll ask me for a password to escalate privileges if I need it, after I run the script.

@SinisterPisces

Not Dumb… nope, it will prompt for a password (as the commands that need sudo use it).

Thanks again. I installed this last night. Real life has intervened, so I haven’t had an opportunity to test much, but the fans came back to life when I rebooted, so those are working. RTC also correctly set. :slight_smile:

It didn’t ask me for a password, but it also never asks me for a password when I use sudo. I need to fix that.

One problem I’m still having. When I shut down the unit, it doesn’t turn off the fan. The OLED freezes in place (since it’s not getting any instructions anymore?), and it doesn’t respond to the power button, so most of it is off? But to actually turn it off completely, I have to pull the power cord. I’m not too concerned about this, as the drives should be unmounted and the heads parked since the Pi is off.

Is this expected behavior?

(This has been a trip. I realized that I stupidly did not actually reformat the disks I used before I screwed them in place. So I need to wipe them before I do anything else. They were in a QNAP before, so there’s even all these weird mdam volumes already there. Oops.)

Hi. I know this topic has been dormant for some time, but I am desperate as Argon has not responded to any of my emails for several weeks. For my own reasons, I am not running Raspberry Pi OS on my Argon EON, but instead I am running plain Debian on the RPi. Here is the output of cat /etc/os-release:

PRETTY_NAME=“Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)”
NAME=“Debian GNU/Linux”
VERSION_ID=“11”
VERSION=“11 (bullseye)”
VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye
ID=debian

The OLED and fans worked fine under Raspberry Pi OS, but when I changed to plain Debian the fans and OLED do not work. I was thinking that perhaps the Argon script doesn’t work on other operating systems, and the updated script developed by @NHHiker might fix my problem…but when I try to install I get an error stating that the script could not locate package raspi-gpio. I have confirmed that I do have python3-rpi.gpio installed. So I am confused. What am I missing?

Looks like raspi-gpio can’t be found, Could be that the addition of Manjaro broke it, or we lost Debian support somehow.

Might want to try the following;

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JeffCurless/argoneon/main/argoneon.sh  > argoneon.sh

./argoneon.sh > log.txt

And post the log…
